"Oddballs Palm Island Lodge"

Oddballs Palm Island lodge Okavango Delta Botswana.   

Our website dedicated to Oddballs Camp Okavango Delta;
http://www.okavangodelta.info
Oddballs' was one of the first camps to be established in the Delta and we have been sharing the unique scenery, wildlife and atmosphere of this area with our guests since 1984. We are proud of our reputation as a relaxed, informal camp where people from many countries, cultures and age groups have the opportunity to experience one of Africa's last wildlife oases. Please read this information carefully, we hope that it will answer any questions you may have before your arrival.

Oddballs' is easily reached by light aircraft from Maun, our nearest town, situated at the base of the Delta. The flight is a short 20 minute hop over the dry outskirts of Maun and then into the lush green landscape of islands, channels and floodplains where our camp is situated. We cannot guarantee the times of your flights in and out of camp, but we will do our best to accommodate your arrangements. Our air charter company must enforce a strict luggage limit of 10kg per person - you should not need more than this, as all camping equipment is provided. Any excess luggage can be stored at our office in Maun.

Oddballs' is situated on Noga Island, and on the other side of the main channel is the Moremi Game Reserve and Chiefs' Island, which is a beautiful area to explore during your stay. A representative of Oddballs' will be at the airstrip to meet you and welcome you to the island.


There is no time of year, which is "better" than any other to come to Oddballs'. Winter is from May - September when the days are warm and night temperatures average 5 - 100 C. The environment is lush and green with higher water levels, which gives the advantage of longer mokoro (traditional canoe) trips. During the rainy season (October - April) temperatures reach a daytime average of 300 C, and do not drop much below that at night. The water begins to dry up, leaving just the main channels and extensive green floodplains from which it is possible to see a good deal more game than when the water is higher. So each season offers something slightly different, but equally worth experiencing!
